Cree jumps into the connected LED bulb market

Cree jumps into the connected LED bulb market: "Energy-efficient LED light bulbs are rapidly replacing their energy-inefficient incandescent cousins, helped in no small part by government regulations. The growing market is attracting new players and driving down prices. Today, LED pioneer Cree, Inc. added a line of connected LED bulbs to its existing LED offering. The bulbs can be controlled—turned on, off, and dimmed—via a smartphone or tablet and any ZigBee controller, including the $50 Wink Hub."
